Food waste is a massive contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, something that sustainable skincare brand Circumference aims to tackle. By using discarded food in its products, it’s appealing to consumers who want to see cross-industry efforts to combat climate change.

In the wake of COVID-19, people are making fewer shoppings trips and focusing more on hygiene. Splosh, a UK-based subscription service, simplifies things by offering effective, eco-minded, zero-waste household and personal cleaning products delivered through the letterbox.

Consumers are typically framed as the main culprits when it comes to food waste, but supermarkets have a large stake in the issue, too. A supermarket in Milan has introduced an electronic price tag system that automatically discounts older food, preventing expired produce from ending up in the bin.

Britons are feeling increasingly passionate about reducing their food waste footprint and buying from more ethical brands. Community-focussed app Too Good To Go is helping diners eat in a more sustainable way, connecting them with popular restaurants and cafes that want to shift their leftovers.
